I have a Facebook fan page, and Twitter, and i’m embarrassed by how much fun I’ve been having blathering on and uploading sketches. It took only two seconds of soul searching to find out why this is so rewarding for me: I am full of ridiculous things with no direct outlet.

Haha, so bear with me, Internettes.

After I sketched that scary man who murdered somebody, I wanted to do a few sweeter things. Here is one inspired by all those gorgeous 30’s 40’s and 50’s valentines.

And then I had a dreamy photo laying around, so I turned it into an impression of falling in love. Not that I would know.

And here is a pic I took because I was being very silly, and started a fan page on facebook. Yup. That’s my pug. Dunno about the brassiere. I think it fell from heaven because of some kind of Egyptian curse. Join, if you like that sort of crap.

AV Club Tim and Eric Valentine’s Day Dating SpecialI had the good fortune of having  a sketch posted by the demigods of absurdism gross-out comedy, Tim and Eric!  These two have an advice column up on The Onion AV Club, who I also adore for their amazing critiques and T.V. Club followings.  Red letter Day!

If you arrived here from there, yo. If you like, I have a Facebook page and Twitter feed. They are new and fancy. And currently exist.

If you wanted to know, my current drawing related projects include: “Harrumph! The Adventures of Poppycock and Boulderdash,” “Personal Mission,” and a to-be-revealed iPhone game.  My ongoing efforts in front of the camera includes The Dresden Codak Show, an upcoming sooo portland cable access show, Wanderlust TV, and also some dark voodoo full length movie… that will upset people.

In honor of this momentous day,  here’s a secret illustration that depicts Greg, the giant kangaroo God of absurdism comedy. He’s supposed to be pretty cool.

Greg!!!!

Ah, yes. Stumptown has come and gone, and this, was a lovely little year. No Dramaz!!!111  Least, not for me, or not much! But, any creative commerce type thing, wow. I’m sure some had their hearts pumped and broken.

I’m glad to have pumped a few, by handing out our impressive arrary of awards. Total shout out to Bobby “fatboy” Roberts, one of those charismatic nerds who can hold a mic.

It is a time when my eggs tend to hatch. The Bridge Anthology made its sell out debut, and I have to say, I’m fairly proud of my piece in it I did with Jesse Baggs. Soon, I’ll put it up here with those flippers, I say. Ours is all about Dramas, and Dramas @ Stumptown, specifically! So, it was fun to see printed while there, with most of the cameos of comics peeps actually there, with actually reading it there. So meta.

Yes, you should buy one, sure. I am espesh geeked to be one page away from two of my favorite cartoonists, who even teamed up! Graham Annable and Scott C. Now, I’ve seen them make books together for years, so, they didnt meet online as a comics E blind date like Jesse and I, and it shows in the charming collaboration. I wont give to much away from Annable and C’s, but, it includes Shang Hi-ing and fresh apples.

Other than that, I just tabled, got encouragement, and acquired some new comics.

One, by J. Fish, had me  regress to my SNES RPG 11 year old self. He made an avatar type sprite of himself that is all “david the gnome” in the woods, rescuing the little animals that knights come by and slaughter. Phew, I been guilty of that like a billion times. Great read! I made some fan art of what my lil sprite might be like… I think she would be some drunk, disposed royalty, who, natch, rides a pug steed through the woods. But we all can dream.

Hey yall! I’ve been without Primary internettes, which, is how I post!

I know!

But, in the good news dept. I’ve got my old animations online now. Phew. It was heady, youthful, DIY times, I tells ya. So many things came from a dumpster. Not the least of which was the shockingly high end camera, which, kinda started the stop motion kick.  Me and my BFF, Sam Liberto III, basically just animated for the hell of it. He’s kinda a genius, cus or else, none of this would have happened. And I might be a reasonable citizen today.

mrrexmakinof.jpg

So! Cartoons. Up on YouTube,up on here.

The order of their making is as follows:

Mr Rex

Cartoon Dance Party

Operation Awareness

Giblets

Embry O’s

and, yes. One day there might even be more. Also, if you are like me and <3 Movie Madness the quaint video rental joint on Belmont, come and get it. In the indie cred section  they are carrying the DVD of all such things, Every Thing You Need. It’s even free to rent. Why? I’m spreading the love.

Basically, Sam and I wrote and drew and sculpted these by our lonesomes, with voice work by our super star friends. The Holden Bro’s, John and Luke notably, are also writers and drawers, respectively. Quite amazing if you need some new YouTubes.

Also, thanks to  Danny, Van Oates, and all our other voice workers! You are famous now.

Wow, I guess I really love hack comedians.

08.jpg

In true Critic spirit, in a split second, we are going to break that chair.

Famous is eating out of a “fuck it” bucket, that the brilliant Amy Sedaris recommends in her charming home ec book.

Yes, kids, its been a wild year. Not, a bad one, considering. Ive made certain strides, artistically, fell in with my video gang, and, hopefully, caused some damage.  A few heart aches, but no pseudo divorces, so, I’m calling 08 a win. Here are the media highlights, and things I endorse!

On New years day, 08, nursing my wounds, Shannon Wheeler, me,  and some pals were sitting around, and after ordering a greasy pizza, we put on the Mighty Boosh. That, pretty much blew my mind.  The jokes, so fast and British, zany, and cartoony! It did me in. After I wrapped my brain around it, it became a huge influence. Brits, they can spin CIRCLES around us. That is why, I covered my face in shaving cream, and pissed off youtube with my moon impression. I couldn’t beat them, So, I joined.

After the Boosh, Wheeler called me up when he was getting writers block, and many bottles of  wine and much Chinese food later, I had written an opera with him. Too Much Coffee Man, the Refill, natch.  I learned so much from that experience. Not just parading around in ball gowns, but, how a show comes to be, and the amazing SHOWMANSHIP of the cast, yikes, are they brilliant

That indirectly lead to me hooking up with the Harris and Aaron, when the Stump Town Comics fest came around. Wheeler, others, and I went to a dinner, and squinting past the glaring light of Nick Gurewitch, I made the acquittance Of Aaron Diaz and Harris Porter. We were joking around and getting somewhere, but then we all left. But,  clever fellows they are, they found my then, new, website, and they saw my stupid moon, redick drawings, and that with my charming presence, got me a coffee date with the both of em. I’m a lucky gal, I know.

3 hours of refills and crazy ideas later, I was in, and the show was a foot. They needed a girl, and I usually pass for one. The rest of the Dresden Codak show is history. I love the scripts and we are shooting as soon as they get a cruddy basement that doesn’t not freaking flood as much. Cus my character spends a lot of time on the floor, so, hellls naw!

Also, my neighborhood pals had introduced me to stand up, knock em down comedian Totally Darrel, who,we cast as our shows resident asshole. You know, type casting! Darrel opened for Neil Hamburgers country tour, which was amazing. I loved Neil H. before I ever even met Darrly, so I was slayed. Also, he sang the Bee Gees “I started a joke” which was…. peeeeerrrrrfect. There is talk of a N.H. comic, and you know who gets dibs on some pages!

So, then, Jesse Reckclaw wanted a posse to talk comics on Portland’s own Ed Forman show. I was game, always ready to get some personality practice. Turns out this was the show where, Stacey, our Too Much Coffee Man baritone, himself had guested for the promotion of our opera only in April, coincidentally. Us comics may not have been the best guests, but I’ve caught the show a few times since, and its very Portland. Improve, and prepared sketches, and seat of the pants, man, the pants.  If you like sex jokes, and if you are reading me, chances are you might, this show should be caught! Tuesdays @ Dantes, free. Cant beat that.

If you like talk shows, also make sure to check out the wild, out of control antics of The Famous Mysterious Actor. He had some of my Dark Horse friends on the show, and… ouch. It was worth my admission. Never before, had I seen a talk show host wonder if a woman is pregnant, or, just a fat bitch. He offered helpful solutions, though, about punching the baby out of the stomach.  Class act! Also, Make sure to check out the wild Dark Horse and Famous comics on myspace….. I’m glad there is room for this media in our lil planet.

Speaking of wich, if you are reading this, feel free to friend me on myspace and facebook. I sometimes give extra updates there.. like a lil somthing comming up…

Oh, what else? The Critic. I loved it as a kid, and now,thankfully, the world has given us a DVD. They drawing style is fun, crisp and clever. The celebrity charactachures are SPOT ON, and somehow, manage to get all my strange favorites! Paul Lynd, Rick Moranis, Jeff Goldblum, yow. This show is one long love letter to Lovitz himself, and I don’t blame it at all. A beautiful time capsule of the 90’s, s worth revisiting. I am such a sucker for, dick, vadge, and fat jokes, I know.

Another highlight was when I got to party like a rockstar. The renowned Paul Guinan had tickets to a concert, and I agreed. Then he told me it was the stars. I LOVE THE STARS. They are so good for breakups. The tour, Sad Robots, got good old Boiler Plate to star in their merch! It was like somebody accidentailly got chocolate in my peanut butter, and I couldn’t complain. Well, we got to hang out in fancy rock tour trailer, and then join the GoGo Bordello party downtown, and danced to gypsy folk well into the wee hours.  That is the most rock I get, cus, I am not such a rocker, really. Well, not in general.

stars1.jpg

So much fun! Here’s a snap of me, Touquil Campbell of The Stars, and Paul Guinan, Boilerplate’s dad, in ascending order. I got my mits on a delightful Boilerplate necklace, which I wear with pride.

noahcarol08.jpg

This is me and Noah, fellow comedy writer and collaborator since high school newspaper, living it up on NY’s eve. He has a star of David over his eye, and I have a heart on my cheek. Boob rouching, gold sparkles, and no bra. You’re welcome, 09! Noah and I are currently hammering out a lil something or 3 for the Internets too, very excited, and will keep you posted.

Anyhow, Auld Lang Zine, you nerds! <3

I know I’m a little early….

thanksgivingnew.jpg

I had this idea back in 05, but, I wanted to redraw it.  It’s easier than thinking up something new!

This will be a nice Thanksgiving for me, I can tell. There’s a family trip out to Seattle to visit the Sis and Hub, and a couple of real nice friend potlucks are getting together prior . I am thankful for all the food people feed me, and the company I keep. I’ve always loved the friendship and feasting of the holiday, but of course get conflicted about the roots whenever my mind jumps to the hokey holiday visuals.

  • STORY TIME

When I was but a High school student, I had the most funny discussions in my ceramics class, with my best friend since kindergarten, who taught me how to tie my shoes. Delightful fellow, queer as a 3 dollar bill, and my prom date.

He and I would be working on some gnome statues or pottery, and while our hands would finagle, my how our gums would flap. One crisp November,  we discussed, how lame it is to be forced to say what we are thankful for, around the table, and how often in our family’s that could… give somebody a soapbox to stand on, that might be regrettable. Also, we liked silly noises.

“Hey Eric!  You know that funny noise you make?”

“You mean, AuuagAuuagAuuuahhhhhg?” (this noise is deep and guttural, kinda like what the sea lions sound like)

“Yeah! When your parents ask  what your thankful for, make that noise as loud as you can, okay?”

“Okay!”

And he did. And it made his dad mad.

Happy thanksgiving!

 I was innocently walking home from buying condoms, pabst, and pornography from THE WRONG SIDE OF TOWN. ( the west hills) , when I was brutally accosted. A 4 foot 11 bald white man rushed out from the bushes, and assaulted me with his SUV keys. He  pushed me down, carved into my face, and tried to rape me… Fail. I waited patiently for him to pop some Viagra, but he was still pretty limp. I showed him my pornography, but that didn’t help. While I was holding a pabst to my face to suppress bruising, he just wrote me a rape kit bill and sulked away, muttering.

I’m pretty scared and vulnerable right now, so I think I’m just gonna make a couple press releases, then relax with my pornography and call it a day.

UPDATE! baby elephant day is NEXT week. so, hang in there, lil Sam!

SO, Ive been meaning to get to the Zoo so bad for the baby elephant. 2 dollars on the 2nd Tuesday! It’s my time! Tomorrow. I recommend anybody try to see. I’ll meet up with you and we can eat elephant ears. Savage!

This is a still, this little fella is animated.

pinkele2.jpg

I have loved and had plans for baby elephants for a while now, starting with Dumbo, and me wanting to be an elephant when I grew up. True story.  I have still loved the elephants, and cant recommend enough the Warner Brother’s “Punch Trunk Love” Elephants and drunks go so well together. This little pink elephant has a future home, were he will represent the cute boozles of a drunk . I’ll shoot that later.  I’ll post, yes, a baby elephant walk later, when I get smarter about enabling video, later on.

But in real life? Tomorrow? BABY ELEPHANTS.

I know little Samudra was pretty disappointed when I didn’t make it last month. I’m coming honey! When the zoo keeper sees how much Samudra loves me, he’ll let me take him home. Samudra will play with Pompoonette, and they will both get jobs building pug dog and elephant bridges, under FDR’s new deal. I won’t have to work, any more ever, plus, Samudra will go online and find me a rich husband. Hooray Baby Elephant day!!!

Say, many of you know I want to shoot the T.V. when the bar is playing family guy. Especially if I am drinking whiskey. Especially especially if the whiskey has been drunk.

The drawing style is just dumb and bad, I’d rather read New Yorker cartoons done  on magic eye posters after being spun on the merry go round whist doing a keg stand. Beyond that, I am seldom amused by 70’s tv reference and punching a woman in the face every 5 seconds. Call me crazy.

And recently Seth McFarland seems to have juked my ideas! Now, I know there’s a big collective unconscious and once I birth my ideas they are up for grabs, and I doubt Mr. MacFarlane has seen any o’ my junk, but still, I want to call firsties here. He took his opportunity as youtube moderator to sell out to burger king, and he’s calling it “Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade Of Cartoon Comedy”.

I hosted an animation festival in 2006, and called it “Zoey Trope’s Cartoon Cavalcade” So, I coined that 1st, yo. Well, kind of.

Now, I actually had heard an author going by “Zoey Trope” as a pseudonym  few years ago, and I took the liberty of using it for the bimbo hostess, a Betty Boop who swore a lot. Played by me, natch.  a zoetrope as a name is too good of an animation pun to let die. I coined that 2nd, at least.

cartoon-cavalcade.jpg

So, on top of Seth’s cavalcade alliteration juke, he had the same idea of a Mario Bro’s gag. It’s the thought of, what would  happen when Toadstool meets Mario for the first time, after his hero’s journey, and her sitting around being all captured.

Spoiler! In my version, she escapes un murdered.

mariolesb.jpg

I was interested in the actual pain and injuries that Mario would sustain in the mission, and the ill manners of expecting an immediate fuck, when we know nothing about the Princess the whole time. The big joke was what would Toadstool find to amuse herself during the capture, hanging out with all the eunuch Toads. At least my Mario practices safe sex, though.

Here’s Seth’s, if you prefer Burger King, or Misogyny. Which, youtube does, so it’s a nice fit.

Those idiot woman haters are at it again. They want institutions to get to use whiny “religious beliefs” to deny access to abortion, birth control and contraception.  A doctor could even refuse to refer a patent to a more reasonable doctor who would. That is some Grade A Banana Oil. Can you imagine the pharmacist glaring at you when you go and pick some birth control pills, and telling you they don’t believe in it? What’s not to believe in? They exist, they are over there in your stock, hand them to me with your little plastic gloves. Much in contrast to that intangible lord you are appeasing by exerting control over your costumer’s ovulation.

Or, the Doc denies you EC? Or the abortion pill, which is also commonly used over the counter to finish out a miscarriage. Condoms, even? Maybe even they’d get uppity when you buy vagisil. Any product admitting you have a vag to sil, that could be suspect. Geeze, like genital medical purchases aren’t already fun enough!

This allready happens, and now those bushys want to give permission. Major uncool.

This made me think about what if all the contraception my generation has had so much access to had never been available.  Portland is great for growing up, Franklin High School is 5 blocks from a planned parenthood. What if it wasn’t? What if every woman had to carry all of the children that they would have in the coarse of their lives? Like olden days, or Mormons. I shudder to think. I would get no chance to ever draw these silly cartoons. Or, binge drink. I mean, macrame.

Why, it might go a little like this:

broodc.jpg

Quaint in a cartoon, much more bleak in life. So,if you like sex without babies and doctors having to help you live your life, AKA, doing their job, you should sign this petition. If enough people link to it, we can put thesmack down on this nonsense. I implore sex and woman fans everywhere! Tell your friends!

go here.  Its one quick email. Your unborn babies in heaven will thank you.

And er, don’t call. Email. Gwad, my I remind you what happened to my razr not two months ago?


As I was turning off my morning alarm, afterward I missed the nightstand dropped it right into the evening water glass.

So, my decision is to get a Tank of a phone, a G ZONE. which is supposed to be neigh indestructible. I don’t even care if its cute.

so long as it can survive a toilet and glass of water, I will love it.

Just this weekend, I wondered aloud, “When are they gonna make more male birth control! I want a reversible vasectomy!” Serious, I remember when the dude pill was on the cusp of being completed. It was funny, because a woman named “Dr. Wang” was working on it.

But then today, I read this article. No Fair!! It seems the man inst ready for the contraception to be on the man! Come on already, to block the lady bits you’ve got to practically have a flashlight, hard helmet, and pick ax to get up in it. Man parts? They just freaking HANG THERE. Can’t a doctor just concoct a mini scrotal sauna to steam out sperms? It has got to be easier than a “once a month comfortable vaginal ring“. Can’t we get at least ONE innovative man apparatus already? I think all us ladies would be mighty pleased.

What a wonderful world it would be.

So, you know when you have fistfuls of dollars from selling your wares at conventions? Then everybody is happy, you go to mc minimums and Dark Horse foots the bill? And you meet people you become entangled with in various secret projects? Mostly, everybody is just chuffed and draws on cocktail napkins. This is one of those times.

This is Gurewitch giving a sporting chance to this doodle I made. It could almost make sense, if you round up, and add an “S”. It will never win an Eisner, but it’s sheer hilarity after the blood, sweat, and beers of a comicon.

This is what it was like driving to San Diego Comic Con from Portland. Shannon Wheeler and I were helming the Stumptown Committee, and we complained ourselves into a fervor until it was decided POSTCARDS NEEDS TO GETS DONE. We were in cali, where driving and cell phones are now illegal, so, heck, I had to put on the adult pants. Here’s how I looked, with a cell on each ear, and my “authoritative” voice. Shannon kept telling me “Your Doin It Wrong!”

Now, if you are ready to be blown away, may I present the beaut of a card mah Portland comitee peeps made! Many thanks to : John C. Worsley, Kaebel Hashitani, Cosmic Monkey Comics, Shannon Stewart, and of course, Zach Baldus for the brilliant illo! Go teeeeaaam!

So, this Totes Vom Episode deals with a stumptown fest of yore. 2 years past, nothing lasts.

Oh dear, my favorite Internette is hanging up his hat. Well, at least not putting it on everyday? No, he always wears that stupid hat. Joesph William Bergin the 3rd is retiring from The Daily Grind. The grind he has spent 3 years in, making a comic every weekday. Dang is right.

He did so good! I know he’ll have more time to do more awesome comics now, read a book, take a hike, and play with his wiener… dog. But he will be missed! Honestly, when I met this man I was in awe from getting to meet such an honest to gosh artist, and I am very thankful for having gotten to learn so much from him. He is a cartoonist through and through.

He made me laff, he me made me cry? well, not in his dailys but you get the idea.

Joe, You were good. Now be even better, you freakin Ink Stud. Ker Sigh!

So, I am an alumni of the illustrious Renegade Animation Studios, which has (had?) an office here in Portland. While I was doing top secret video game animation, most of our office was working on the recently debuted MR Men Show. I got to see the weekly shots come out, parceled gently out over the real time it takes to animate. I say that the show is absolutely adorable. Now, I know you may think that they bribed me with their bagels, cream cheese, and coffees, but, no I am not so easily bought. Bagels only rent me. I was excited to see how strong and ridiculous each character is, and how the whole show is premised on every mr man and little miss just plain being ill suited for their job. None of them will ever get along, for a Mr Anal Retention can never be comfortable around a Mr Crusty Hippy. That doesn’t stop them from going on road trips to the beach, however.

The charecters tend to either have a regional accent, or be based off an old Hollwood type. I especially fell for Mr. Scatterbrain, who’s based off Ed Wynn, the old man floating around his tea party in Mary Poppins. He brings the party.

Now, there’s some controversy surrounding the Mister Rude character. Who is unabashedly FRENCH. I am in support of a big, publicity inducing fight! According to a source at the French Embassy in London ” this kind of humor won’t go any distance toward easing a centuries-old rivalry between the two nations”. Well, maybe not. But with me, the proof is always in the pudding. So it matters if it’s funny.

Bare in mind that, I , in fact, have French heritage. That, and a bit o the Irish is how I maintain my honky white visage. So in celebration for Cartoony Racial Stereotypes that I personally represent in my daily duties, I’ve drawn a stunning portrait of Mr Rude, and a New Character I’d like to one day introduce into the men cannon. I’ll let you know when I see a contract.


Here’s Mr Rude, being just a little bit ruder.

mrrude.jpg

And here’s the character I propose, a new man, named Mr Tipsy. He has a heavy brogue.

What the hell was this old arcade game called? This was a question I had on my mind for a long time. So when the Onion’s AV club started encouraging hapless schmucks like me to recall our collectively misspent youth I had a drawing I’d done from memory ready to send in. Here, the AV club nicely answered my inquest, which, yes, is and was extremely important. You’ll have to scroll down the page a little after you link.
